Every interaction in our lives creates our story. These stories can come from family experiences, media, marginalization, oppression, trauma, and much more. Over time, a collection of these may cause us to fall into depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, out of control sexual behavior, or other mental health issues. In therapy, my goal is to provide a warm, genuine, and collaborative environment to understand the development of these stories and how we can change them. I view therapy as a uniquely relational and human experience. While I do take my work seriously and have a deep understanding psychopathology and sexuality, I also take therapy as a chance to develop a genuine, secure relationship with clients. I believe this co-constructed relationship is the foundation to healing. Starting therapy is a vulnerable step, but one that acts as a catalyst for a more fulfilling life. I am grateful to be a part of this step. I am a sex-positive therapist, and affirming to those in the LGBTQ+, kink, poly, fat and consensual non-monogamy communities. Please reach out with any questions or to set up a consultation/intake.
